I don't see what makes you think they're the range. it just says 
"parameter value".
I *believe* this means the value you want the parameter in line 6 to be 
set to.
i.e. you have to send one of the above messages for every new value of 
said
parameter.

the MS nibble and LS nibble part just means the upper and lower parts 
of the
byte you're forming.  the MS nibble will just be shifted left a nibble. 
so if you're
trying to send the value 100, it will be: F0 01 20 01 01 16 04 06 F7 
since 100
is 0110 0100 which gives you LS and MS values of 0100 (4) and 0110 (6),
respectively.

hope that helps, it seems right to me...but then again I've never 
programmed this
into a controller, so....
